x G D
you drag your tiger’s paw across
C/G Gadd9*
your chapped & cracking lips,
Em
and open up a crimson slur
C/G G+
you spread each time you kiss.
Am Em
the broken boy you bargain with
C/G D Gadd9
to turn back to the man
Am
that you fell in love with once
C/G
but never saw again.
G C/G D Em
is he in there? do you think he drowned to death?
A7 C/G Gadd9 D
well it's his decision to show his face again.
G D
you grind your tired teeth
C/G Gadd9*
& curse the day that you were born
Em C/G G+
to a sunken line of Irish wives a million miles long,
Am Em C/G D Gadd9
devoted to the suffering they're certain they deserve.
Am
a husband’s a cross to bear,
C/G
worry lines & a silver string of hair
G C/G D Em
come too early, come to steal your sainted youth
A7 C/G G D
well it's your decision to stay or else to move.
C/G G
& I'm not a man of faith, no gospel oak for me,
C/G G D
but you wear a crucifix to broadcast your beliefs,
Am Am/B Em D C
and the god I've read about can't go where he's not asked to go.
Am
so you've got a choice to make:
C/G
shut him out, save yourself, or sit and wait.
G C/G G D Em
but you're waiting on a man who will not move.
A7 C/G G
so you must move for him and do what he can't do.
(mute) G C/G C/G D Em
cause it’s worth it, that’s the one life you can change,
A7 C/G G
and I'm sorry sister, but it has to end this way.
A7 C/G G
yea, it’s scary sister, but tomorrow’s just too late.
(Single strums)
A7
so stand up sister,
C G
there’s an albatross to shake.
Kevin includes various licks, strange chords and transitions, a few of which I have
